case for g10

I use a Crumpler 1 million dollar bag! It holds the camera, charger and extra memory card plus a little room to spare.

Tamrac 5292 Fits Perfect!

thanks for the shots, I agree the brown has a richer look to it, I might have been too quick to pull the trigger on the black one but I like it too. Just got the camera today. first impressions:

too many menu layers. Or maybe I am just too used to being able to find my way through any of the current DSLR menu styles because they are all very similar and find the g10 a little cumbersome because it is so different.

I like that all of the stuff I will need to shoot in M mode or Av is on a knob or speed dial, I can see that for most of the shooting I will do it will be easy to find what I want.

Why can't canon spring for a memory card?

I have to work tomorrow, then class afterwork, I might be able to get out and do some shooting friday, can't wait. Thanks again for the pictures.

I too was looking for a case for my Canon G10, mainly to carry in my backpack. After many hours of web surfing and reviews, I FINALLY got the Kata KT DP-415 at Amazon for $13.99 shipped. I've been using it for about a week now and have NO regrets.

The Kata is a perfect fit for the Canon G10 and will comfortable hold the camera, extra SD memory card (in the provided pouch), and the included protective weather cover. I've also tried it with and extra battery fits pretty well.

As for as design i think Kata did a really great job. The fabric used on the exterior is top notch and feels very high in quality. The interior is lined with a microfiber-like material and is very soft to the touch. The divider in the middle is a excellent idea for separating the camera from the accessories without adding a extra zippered compartment. I haven't tried the weather cover yet but the time comes for me to use it I'm pretty sure it will get the job done.

If you're still deciding on a camera case/bag for your Canon G10, I highly recommend the Kata. The deciding factor for me was this tread (pics included): https://photography-on-the.net …p?t=646412&high​light=kata. thanks.

I just ordered one last night based on the write-up of this thread.

For my three previous ultra compact digital cameras, I used very lightweight hard plastic product containers that have been slightly larger than the size of the camera. For small cameras, a small case is important, especially so it can fit in pockets. All the usual foam or leather cases are too large or provide little impact protection. A simple plastic bottle at the right size is lighter, smaller, and more protective. One can cut the lid opening so the camera only readily fits through when it is slightly squeezed. Thus a few years ago for my first digi camera the DimageX, I used a Menen Skin Bracer bottle (well after emptying the fluid haha). Look in all manner of drug stores, hardware store, auto parts stores etc. Been looking for the right container for my new G10 but haven't found it yet. This larger camera is a hard fit at 1.8x3.2x4.5 inches.

I happened upon this Nat geo bag on amazon, it's a great, well made bag that i find easy to carry. It also has a large extra pocket for spare batteries etc.

I got the Lowepro Spectrum 50, $15 at Ritz.

I have the NG1152 and love it. Plenty of room for extra disks and batteries.

I took a look at the NG1152 and it looks like a nice case. I'm thinking of getting one from B & H tomorrow. Thanks for pointing it out to me, just ordered my G10 and it should arrive Tuesday and I want to case to protect it.

I have been searching for the last 3 weeks for the perfect case for my G10. I want a small zippered, stretchy neoprene case that fits my G10. I don't want extra room for cards or batteries, just a minimal case to put my camera in so I can put it in my purse. I cannot seem to find exactly what I want. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I saw this one on Flickr, it looks decent.

I like the minimal one in jaydub's link, however it may be slightly small. That page showed the internal dimensions to be:

Zoom (41) 4.5" 3" 1.5"

I made my own minimal size case recently out of 1/10 inch thick balsa wood sheets and closely measured G10 dimensions to be 4.4x3.2x1.8 inches. Thus the main issue with jaydub's link would be the depth. One of the main reasons for buying the G10 and not a small DSLR was that I wanted a camera that while maybe not ultracompact shirt pocket size was still small enough to still fit into at least usual coat pockets.

One can buy a sheet of balsa at any hobby supply that will make a case for less than $3. With basswood that is a bit heavier, 1/8 thickness would allow a smaller case with more strength. It will be a hard case that can fit into larger pockets that will be more protective than any of the soft cases. Besides pocket duty, I will want to toss the case loosely into my daypack or fanny pack that has additional gear inside and don't want it crushed or the lcd scratched. Once one cuts the case panels, gluing them with wood glue is trivial. Inside my case is 1/8 inch thick foam that also covers the top side as a dust flap. The G10 has strap handles insertion bars at each side that stick out slightly more than the flat sides. Thus I made my internal width dimension with the foam installed slightly smaller than that dimension. Thus the camera must be pushed in with minor force to compress and snug against the foam. Once snugged inside, it won't come out if upsidedown as it only comes out if I gently pull on the straps. And I replaced the humungo leather neck strap in the box with my own minimal straps with small clips on each end that I can quickly remove for tripod work.

I wouldn't buy from this guy, he offers no insurance and responsibility for lost or damaged items. Sounds sketchy to me.

yeah it looks like it's JUST large enough for the camera. I needed a little more space for a battery and an extra SD card.
